“Upside down”

Initially conceived as a piece composed of two paintings, it depicts a magnificent leopard descending from a tree, disturbing a long-tailed roller. During my various exhibitions, I often heard visitors comment that they preferred to see the leopard in a horizontal position. This led to a joke, and that’s how it was named “Upside Down.”

Description

Upside down, Leopard

The choice of black and white emphasizes the essential while giving it a more contemporary feel, further enhanced by the framing in a black American box.
This painting is made on black vegetable-tanned bovine leather sourced from a French tannery.
The leather is moistened to allow for sculpting using the “carving” technique with a tool.
It is then painted with special leather paint.
The leather is glued onto medium-density fiberboard and framed by a professional.
Dimensions: Leopard 115 x 79 cm

A heartfelt thank you to Yaron Schmid for graciously allowing me to use his stunning photograph of a leopard as inspiration for my painting. His photography has been the muse for this new composition.
